Children with a difficult airway are at high risk of decompensation in the setting of respiratory distress. Situational awareness among all team members, and a shared plan in case of an emergency, can reduce the chance of catastrophic outcomes.This study aimed to improve difficult airway situational awareness while minimizing alert burden in a quaternary care pediatric healthcare system through the application of clinical decision support (CDS).Three iterative designs were developed [...]

This study aims to tackle the critical challenge of adapting deep learning (DL) models for deployment in real-world healthcare settings, specifically focusing on catastrophic forgetting due to distribution shifts between hospital and non-hospital environments. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is susceptible to misdiagnosis by DL models due to distribution shifts. This work demonstrates the potential of continual learning (CL) to enhance model performance in MetS identification across diverse settings.

To characterize patient and clinician perceived barriers and facilitators to using electronic patient-generated data (PGD) in safety-net systems.

Immunotherapies have revolutionized the landscape of cancer treatments. However, our understanding of response patterns in advanced cancers treated with immunotherapy remains limited. By leveraging routinely collected noninvasive longitudinal and multimodal data with artificial intelligence, we could unlock the potential to transform immunotherapy for cancer patients, paving the way for personalized treatment approaches.

Intrahospital patient transport is pivotal in enabling hospital operations and facilitating safe and efficient patient movement. However, transport delays are common in hospitals, signaling a need for improvement. This study develops, implements, and evaluates a proximity-based transporter-to-request assignment system aimed at improving transport service system efficiency.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in hospitalized patients must balance risks of bleeding and thrombosis. Clinical changes such as bleeding or renal injury can also trigger changes or delays in thromboprophylaxis. Electronic health record alerts (EHRAs) can allow for targeted notification to providers to improve venous thromboembolism prophylaxis and improve patient outcomes at the risk of alert fatigue if not carefully designed and implemented.

Clinicians currently make decisions about placing an intracranial pressure (ICP) monitor in children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) without the benefit of an accurate clinical decision support tool. The goal of this study was to develop and validate a model that predicts placement of an ICP monitor and updates as new information becomes available.

This article evaluates the privacy policies of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered mHealth apps, focusing on their availability, readability, transparency, and scope.

This quality improvement study implemented and prospectively examined user engagement with an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered clinical trial knowledge management application at an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center.

Social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDH) are increasingly recognized as essential for prognostication and informing targeted interventions. Clinical notes often contain details about SBDH in unstructured format. Conventional extraction methods for these data tend to be labor intensive, inaccurate, and/or unscalable. In this study, we aim to develop and validate a large language model (LLM)-powered method to extract structured SBDH data from clinical notes through prompt engineering.
